What is 1/26 as a percentage? It’s 3.85% (rounded to two decimal places).
The fraction 1/26 means one part out of twenty‑six equal parts. It’s a small slice, a little less than one out of twenty. Because it’s a tiny portion, the percentage value looks low, which matches our everyday sense of “just a few percent.”
You might see 1/26 in situations like a classroom where one student out of twenty‑six gets a special award, or in a game where the chance of drawing a particular card is 1 in 26. Knowing the percentage (about 3.85%) helps you quickly understand how likely or how small that piece is.
